Do you love summer in Vancouver? Is the thought of betraying a beautiful sunny day for a hot, claustrophobic session in a yoga studio more than you can bear?

Mat Collective transports yoga-enthusiasts to various scenic locations throughout the city to enjoy their calming workouts in the great outdoors. Aaaaaah.

What's more, these fresh-air sessions are completely free - all that you have to bring is a mat. All skill levels are welcome, so you don't have to worry if you can't nail a mayurasana pose just yet.

While the group operates out of two primary locations during the summer, one on Main Street and the other by Kits Beach, there are also numerous popup locations throughout the year. They offer Hatha, Power, Flow, Yin, Yin Yang, and Hatha Flow fusion classes.

Classes commence on June 1 and run until August 30, and they run rain or shine. All classes are drop-in and do not require pre-registration.
